4 Fun Ways To Tap Into Your Sensuality!

4 Fun Ways To Tap Into Your Sensuality!

Whether you’re single, coupled, or somewhere in between, there’s no better time than Valentine’s Day to amp up your sex life. Fitness plays a key role – not only because looking and feeling better about your body is a terrific confidence booster – but also because a stronger body will bring you more sexual pleasure. A weak core and pelvic muscles make it harder to achieve orgasm, but research shows that women who do certain exercises regularly experience more – and better – orgasms. That’s right – quality AND quantity, just in time for February 14th.

Moving your body in new, unfamiliar ways can have a distinct effect on your sense of self. Strength training, for example, can be incredibly empowering. Kickboxing, meanwhile, can make you feel like a fast-footed warrior. Running in the hills is an exhilarating way to set your spirits free. And it only makes sense that fluid, sultry movements can help you tap into your sensuality. So in honor of Cupid’s big day, let’s focus on some exercises that will help you get your groove on…in the bedroom and everywhere else.

1. Down-There Care

Whether you’re familiar with the Sanskrit phrase “Mula Bandha,” or if you recall your doctor mentioning “kegels” after childbirth, the basic movement is the same – it’s all about lifting your pelvic floor. These the inner vaginal and pelvic floor exercises help control everything from bladder function to bedroom bliss. The basic move is to contract and release the muscles of your vaginal wall, but today, I’ll show you some must-have variations. Start with the basic kegel and simple variations:

2. Yoga For Your Sex Flex:

You may remember when popstar Sting boasted of experiencing hours upon hours of sex because of his tantric yoga practice. Today, he admits it was just a joke, softening his stance to say that his sex life consists of four hours of begging, then a movie and then dinner. Whatever the case, there is truth to the notion that yoga can spice things up in the bedroom. A 2009 Journal of Sexual Medicine study found that regular yoga practice improves desire, arousal, orgasm,

and overall sexual satisfaction in women. I find that a great yoga workout gets me warmed up and lubricates every muscle-inside and out-which becomes more and more important as we get older. And, if half of lovemaking is loving yourself, then treating your body like the temple it is for an hour in various yoga poses can be the perfect foreplay for great sex later.

Before you slip into the sheets, kneel on your hands and knees, and lift your hips up into an inverted “V” position with your feet on your tiptoes. Press through the hands, opening shoulders. Lift your sitting bones high, feeling the lower back moving into an inward curve. Slowly start to start to straighten the knees, pressing your heels toward the floor, keeping feet parallel to each other. As you get more flexible, keep trying to press them all the way down. Hold for 30 seconds or more.

3. Pilates Power

Pilates also can transform your bedroom prowess. Doing the Pilates Can Can correctly (see video below) can help with that darned gravitational pull and also make your Kegel exercises more effective. This exercise is really about learning to stabilize. It builds muscular endurance, which comes in handy when you want to experiment with a new sexual position. Core strength also betters your time in bed, in any position, since you’re able to support your weight more effectively and move more passionately and freely.
